The Art Of Wishing On Weddings
Posted on July 25, 2008 - Filed Under wedding
A wedding is a very special occasion. A couple deciding to live together forever till they live. Make a family, with children who may become leaders of tomorrow in their own fields. As the time goes forward, weddings are losing their special place. Who knows when the newly weds will file for divorce? Earlier it was not so simple. Divorces were not looked at as a possibility to be exercised easily. How does one wish a newly wedded couple?
What are wishes? What is the role of wishes in a couple’s life? Why do we wish them a happy life together? Let us examine. The first role of a wish is to join the couple in their happiness. Share the happiness. “Yes, I am very happy for both of you. I feel very happy myself on this beautiful occasion. I wish you a lovely life together. Please enjoy your life together. Fight your battles together and share your fruits of labor together. Please bring new children in this world. Make them happy citizens of a happy world.” We have such thoughts and convey our thoughts to the couple in many words. Sometimes, it so happens that watching everybody wishing the couple, we all become mechanical in our wishes. The warmth gets lost. The words lose the deeper meaning and become more of a ceremony to be finished as soon as possible.
We can avoid this happening. When you attend a wedding next, look at the couple carefully. Imagine their future life together. The children, the middle age, and growing old together till death separates them. Imagine the whole life that they will live together. Imagine the pains and the pleasures of their life. Ignore looking at the decorations, the guests and everything else. Focus only upon the couple and you will find a transformation taking place in your thoughts. After this your wishes will be spoken from the heart and your wishes will truly impact the lives of the couple. Make your wishes help the couple in every way. Hundreds of such heart spoken wishes will bring forward such a change that the couple will surely have a beautiful life. Wishes have power. We may not be able to understand that power. But if wishes are made from the heart, that power can destroy many obstacles. Please use that power, because you have it.

You’ll remember your wedding day for the rest of your life - so when it comes to planning the event, you’ll need some expert tips on how to ensure it all goes exquisitely. Planning a wedding requires a great deal of attention to detail, often involving the arrangement of an engagement party, a wedding shower and a rehearsal dinner, on top of the actual wedding ceremony and reception. And, of course, who could forget the honeymoon? Yet many couples find themselves frazzled by the time they make it to their long-awaited day - simply because the planning process turns out to be a more than they bargained for. Do everything it takes to avoid joining this frazzled bunch - plan well, and plan well ahead.
The first thing you might find worth investing in is a wedding coordinator. Coordinators not only think of all the major and ‘minor’ details for you, but they also act as the prime liaison between you - the happy couple - and everyone associated with the planning of your wedding - from the florist to the photographer, and even the priest. Alternatively, most major hotels are more than happy to help a bride and groom-to-be plan their perfect wedding by offering specific wedding packages with guidance on every detail, from the ceremony to the honeymoon - and everything in between. Hotels can often provide you with a checklist to specify all the fine-points of your perfect day to come, and they’ll even introduce you to any ‘romance packages’ that will finish off the ceremony with a heavenly honeymoon. And even if you’re not yet decided on a location for your wedding, browsing through hotel sites can help you narrow your choices.
Another great option for honeymooners is to hop on a cruise and sail away. What could be more romantic than to hold your loved one and watch the golden sunset as you glide gently over the deep blue sea? Cruises are a great way visit multiple locales in one go, and with places like the Italian Riviera or the Caribbean to visit, there’s a terrific destination for everyone.
Taking a vow of love is one of the most exceptional experiences you’ll ever have. Plan your wedding and honeymoon far in advance so that when the day comes, nothing will take your thoughts away from that special person as you say ‘I do.’

Children are wonderful in weddings and often are the “scene stealers.” Generally serving as ring bearers and flower girls, they will do exactly what they want to and they will be — yes, absolutely — they will be children. Some make it down the aisle and some do not. Some walk, some run, some dance. Some make faces at the guests, some cry, some refuse to go down the aisle and some need to hold mom’s hand for courage. Regardless of what they do, they are wonderful and will almost always lend a little comic relief to the otherwise solemn ceremony.
I watched one beautiful little 3 year old flower girl place one flower petal at a time geometrically all the way down a very long aisle while people on both sides were telling her to hurry. Paying no heed, she did it her way. When she got to the front row where her mother was seated, she was obviously pleased with herself and she stood in front dancing throughout the ceremony. It was priceless and a wedding that this officiant will not forget. In another wedding the two ring bearers, each two years old, one dressed in black formal western wear and the other in a kilt, never made it down the isle but they had a wonderful time and so did everyone else who watched them. One little ring bearer announced loudly, “Mama, mama, I have to go make boats” and was quickly whisked away to the bathroom as the guests tried hard to suppress their laughter.
A WORD OF CAUTION HERE: IF you are an “up-tight” bride or groom or mother-of-the-bride who must have everything letter perfect or you will consider the whole thing a national disaster, DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN IN YOUR WEDDING. The stress of worrying about what a child will or will not do is just not worth it. But if you want a wedding that is warm and real and beautiful then let little Susie and Mary throw flowers all the way down the aisle, on the guests, or on themselves and have little Timmie be the ring bearer using the ring pillow as a ball or balancing it on his head. This is certainly not the way you practiced it at the rehearsal, but it will be special and something you will never forget.
